Fix or no fix have a local player who loves her E-wings. I personally not familiar with Rebels enough to really give her advise. I know she has tried to use E'tahn Abath with some PS 1 E-wings. Anyone able to offer suggestions maximize a rather unique Squad?
Triple E's?

can't be done and be effective even against tier III opponents. I've tried! Oh have I tried. the best, and it's Tier 3 at best... is Poe/Corran running in tandem.
For fun, 3 Knaves with FCS or AdvSensor and R2 Astro is your best bet. Problem is for the points you can run 3 T-70's or 4 PS3 Juke/Snap A's (same points for PTL/Wired) had have more success.
Twin Es with a support A or T-70would probably be more effective.
3x Knave Squadron Pilot (33) - E-Wing
Accuracy Corrector (3), Hull Upgrade (3)
So it's not exactly good but if she's set on 3 E-wings, what about:
Corran Horn with VI, R2-D2 and FCS
2xKnave Squadron Pilot with FCS
Here is an idea. I don't know what you have access to, so I just used whatever.
E (100)
Corran Horn (43) - E-Wing
Intensity (2), R2-D2 (4), Fire Control System (2)
Etahn A'baht (43) - E-Wing
Push The Limit (3), R2 Astromech (1), Advanced Sensors (3), Engine Upgrade (4)
Captain Rex (14) - TIE Fighter
3x blackmoon with FCS, and droids of choiche. I like M9G8, R3A2 is another good droid, the third one might be R2D6 with any 1 point pilot ability (lightning reflexes, crack shot or even draw their fire, sinche the stress droid might be the opponent first target).

Since we're in an era of a lot of 2-ship lists, then might I dig up an old (if a little obscure) classic: @DraconPyrothayan 's Retiarian Trident:
- Blackmoon Squadron Pilot, Fire Control System, R7 Astromech
- Blackmoon Squadron Pilot, Fire Control System, R7 Astromech
- Blackmoon Squadron Pilot, Fire Control System, R7 Astromech
It's not devastating by any stretch of the imagination, but it does come with a game plan (shoot the big guy, hold the lock for use defensively - think of it as your Retiarius' 'net') and is probably about the best you can do with a requirement to field 3 E-wings; taking barely-equipped E-wings is generally a bad move because you're paying a lot of points for a ship with both system and astromech slots, both of which are very potent upgrade slots - leaving them empty won't do you many favours.
Why not fly 4 E-Wings instead? We all know that they are over-costed and ineffective when fielding 3, so make your games have the 'fix' they need and reduce their cost?
If she wants to fly E-wings, he should at least get the one and only not overcostet E-wing pilot Corran Horn. And you should tell her, that all other E-wings is way overpriced. My suggestion therefore would be for her to run one of Nathan Eides list, where the E-wing can be the hero of the day and she has a chance of winning. Here are the two newest succesful Nathan Eide/Corran Horn lists:
Winning list from
North American Championship 2017:
Corran Horn + Push the Limit + Engine Upgrade + Advanced Sensors + R2-D2 (49)
Captain Nym + Bomblet Generator + Havoc + Twin Laser Turret + Veteran Instincts + Advanced Sensors + Genius + Engine Upgrade (47)
Number 20 in Worlds 2017:
Corran Horn + R2-D2 + Fire-Control System + Push the Limit + Engine Upgrade (48)
Biggs Darklighter + R4-D6 + Integrated Astromech (26)
Ahsoka Tano + Veteran Instincts + Captured TIE + Sabines Masterpiece + Sabine Wren + Scavenger Crane + Seismic Charges (26)
I she really do want 3 E-wings she should at least include Corran Horn, so she at least will have one good ship in her list - mabey the below list might win her a game once in a while:
Corran Horn + R2-D2 + Fire-Control System + Push the Limit (44)
Knave Squadron + Fire-Control System (29)
Knave Squadron (27)

What should be done is to allow someone to play the game the way they want that allows them to have fun. I Was asking for input to offer if she wants 3 E-wings because she like the e-wing. So suggestions like Jmswoods and Magnus are appreciated. Telling me to tell someone the ship they want to fly sucks and to only fly this one ace with this other meta pieces is not what this thread is about nor is it wanted.
Edited by RonuWell whether you like it or not the E-wing is overpriced and thats fair to tell her, if she do not know that. I am an honest person and if my friends make a choice, that makes a game a lot harder to win, I think it is fair to tell them, because loosing too many games is seldom fun - especially if it is not because they do not play it well, but because the game is biased. Thats my opinion and I am surprised that offends you
She could try three Knaves with R2 astro and Collision Detector, plus Rex with Title, Chopper and BMST. Bring the biggest debris clouds you can find, and use their cover and Rex to keep the Knaves alive. A fourth ship (and a highly annoying one at that) could somewhat compensate for their general fragility.
Other than that I'd go for the triple Blackmoons with FCS and R7 idea posted above. You could also drop those three to Knaves and add flechette torps and guidance chips; I'd say the one-shot boosted attack is usually better than PS 3.
